As part of preparing to release rpm-5.1.2, I've pushed fixes for
the most serious known issues on to the rpm-5_1 (and rpm-5_0)
branches in cvs:

   Log:
     - jbj: disable loop unraveling error msgs for now. better needs  
to be done.
     - jbj: fix: rpm-python h['filenames'] needs tagName(0x54aafb71) to
     	return "Filenames" in order to find the filepathsTag extension.
     - jbj: add a missing newline to a debug message.
     - jbj: revert rpmtsOpenDB on --checksig path, rely on the lazy open
     	in rpmtsFindPubkey instead.
     - jbj: fix: rpm -qp returns NOKEY because rpmdb is not yet open.  
Do a lazy
     	open in rpmtsFindPubkey.
     - jbj: python: fix: insure that ts.setProbFilter() return is  
initialized.
     - jbj: fix: use rpmlog instead of rpmError for messages.

I may push a few more changes from HEAD to the rpm-5_1 branch in the
next 2 days. Dunno yet.

(aside) Perhaps the prettiest "eye candy" patch is automated "make  
check" rpm
coverage testing (the tests are still feeble) using LCOV/GCOV as seen  
here:
     http://wraptastic.org/pub/jbj/rpm-lcov/
What is still under development is a more rigorous test harness for rpm,
so maybe "Not yet" for rpm-5.1.2 is the wiser answer. We'll see ...

Are there any other issues or known problems that need to be  
addressed in rpm-5.1.2?
